What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S: http://navyseal.s5.com/requirements.html
The 6th: weigh in: 237.8 lb. SEAL puppy rep. One-mile walk. SEAL puppy rep. I slept 7 hours last night, no dreams. Good.
The 7th: weigh in: 237.8 lb. Three plus-mile walk and physical therapy.
The 8th: weigh in: 237.4 lb.
The 9th: weigh in: 238.8 lb. SEAL puppy rep. Two-mile walk. SEAL puppy rep. Not doing well. I'm tired of fighting.
The 10th: weigh in: 238 lb. One-mile walk. Physical therapy.
The 11th: weigh in: 237 lb. SEAL puppy rep. Two-mile walk. SEAL puppy rep. Blessedly, I woke up early, right before my alarm went off. The sun was rising, and the colors were beautiful. The sun wasn't above the horizon yet, and there was a pleasant breeze. I was less than five minutes from home when the sun peeked up out the east, and I was so glad to be almost home.
The 12th: weigh in: 238.8 lb. Waist circumference: 39". Physical therapy. Sigh. No walk, today. Yesterday, when I went for my walk I thought, "We need a frog stranglin' gully washer." Last night, we had a frog stranglin' gully washer. This means molds are growing wild, and I'm allergic.
This next week, I'm going to try some new things, like trying to eat slower and drink my water at more advantageous times (according to studies). We'll see how I do.

Hi Judy,
ReplyDeleteCan you expand on the drinking water at more advantageous times? I'd love to have go too. I'm not very good at remembering to drink water :P
Over at facebook they had a picture going around that suggested two cups of water first thing in the morning, rehydrating after sleep, then drinking a cup of water before each meal to help fill you up, and then I make sure I drink water whenever I feel hungry. I learned somewhere along the way that often when you're feeling hungry you're actually thirsty. I have to make sure I have 6-8 cups every day. I'm trying to eat something every 3 hours, but I have to be careful not to drink too much either. Yep, you can drink too much water, too. Have to maintain a healthy balance.
DeleteThanks.That makes a lot of sense. I always feel very thirsty in the mornings. Having the water at set times would make it easier to remember. I'll give it a go. :)
DeleteAfter answering you, I decided to do a whole post on it. I'll publish it sometime during the next week. I take it for granted, but it's a good idea for me to do a review. Good luck! :)
DeleteJudy, Now who is this handsome man pictured with you here? ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteLOL! Jimmy Thomas. He is gorgeous inside and out. Jimmy is the owner of Romance Novel Center, an online community for writers, book cover designers, editors, publishers, where anyone in the romance novel industry can connect. I know, I sound like a commercial for him. He's featured on over 3,000 romance novel covers, from sweet to steamy. He's a very nice man, respectful, and very professional. I have no trouble admitting I have a huge crush on him. :-)
